Having ritsu thoughts

Genuinely such a great character he’s just so funny with his teenage rebellion arc but also he’s kind of a sad character?

Not even talking about his tenuous relationship with mob, but just on how lonely he seems to be?

Like he’s one of the “popular kids” in school, or at least high up on the hierarchy; seen as handsome, smart and athletic, but before he met the awakening lab kids, I don’t think he had any friendships that were shown on screen!

“Seems a bit hard to get close to” yeowch

And honestly, I’m pretty sure we see Teru and the awakening kids together more than with ritsu!

Not at all discounting shou’s presence, and I’m honestly really glad that the two of them are friends (especially with that one bit of the handbook where they go fishing and just talk about their families? Very sweet) but ritsu seemed to have closed himself off for a very long time

In the show, mob gets this huge circle of friends that he really cares about, but I feel like ritsu is much more the kind of person that puts all his care into a very small group of people

Which is fine on its own, but after the incident when he and mob were little, ritsu was on his own for years, and I know from personal experience that even if you have talents and people that admire you, it doesn’t shake off the feeling of loneliness if you don’t have friends you feel comfortable with

Especially since most of ritsu’s relationships with people that aren’t his brother (which is a whole other mess)are pretty antagonistic for the first good bit of the show

Luckily by the end of the show, it really seems like ritsu fits in with people more, and his closer relationship with mob and shou, as well as a seemingly less stressful student council environment makes him seem more carefree and like the funny middle schooler he actually is
